this is what happens when you listen to sappy holiday music...

i don't know what to write, i've sat here for the past 15 minutes trying to write something deep and worth reading/writing. there isn't much to update except that i'm generally having a pretty good time living life. yeah... it's not all rainbows and cute puppies... but i can't complain. i have a family that (despite being crazy and so good at driving me up the wall) loves me, friends that love me, a job that puts money in my bank account, good health etc... and all that good stuff.

OK what's really on my mind... the xmas holidays always seem to evoke a melancholic feeling in me. but this year it was different. xmas came and went with out too much of a thought. no tree this year, not even our ficus was decorated. no lights or decorations on the house. just the mindless routine of going to some family member's house, eating way too much food, shooting the shit with uncles i haven't seen since last xmas, and explaining over and over again where bishop is to someone who barely knows where yosemite is. it was slightly disconcerting that this season wasn't even melancholic... it was just another day. which i guess is true. well, happy new year folks. it's going to be 2009 and we're all going to look the same come january 1st.

btw... the fiddle is beautiful!
